Austin Powers is a movie that grows on people. The first time I watched it the jokes seemed to fall flat and seemed as if they were written by junior high kids, but strangely these gags become more humorous with repeated viewings (I know a lot of people who have had this experience). I probably also helped that I have seen several more James Bond films since I first watched Austin Powers. The sequels, however, show that this immature sex-themed humor can only go so far - they dip even deeper into the 8th grade joke pool for their new gags and rehash most of the same gags from the first film, which get old fast.
